The SandForce SF-1200 series controller found in the Vertex 2 and several other solid state drives is a completely different beast than the Indilinx drives we have grown comfortable with over the past several months. Starting with the internal archit...
Throughout our tests, Vertex 2 has proven to be the crème of the crop of the current SSD offer. We measured 280MB/s read and 250 MB/s write speeds, whereas 4K file writing tests saw Vertex 2 hit spectacular 46,654 IOPS. These results show that users...

The SandForce-powered OCZ Vertex 2 performed very well in our tests, handily beating our previous “fastest SSD”, the 160GB Intel X25-M. Compared to the other SandForce drives the Vertex two came in towards the bottom of the pack after the latest fir...
Not 3rdGeneration SATA6.0 compliant, Lacks integrated USB MiniB data connection, Some manufacturers offer fiveyear warranty

Paying for capacity you won't use thanks to the generous over-provisioning, Looking only at select benchmarks may show disappointing results, High price per Gigabyte
Even though this was our first test of a solid state drive featuring a SandForce controller, our expectations were high given the buzz seen elsewhere on the web. OCZ Technology's 50GB Vertex 2 featuring an optimized SandForce SF-1200 controller did no...
The OCZ Vertex 2 SSD is a must-have for any performance enthusiast’s parts list. OCZ has produced an insanely fast solid state drive with competitive pricing. The drive comes in a 2.5″ format, so it should work with most SATA capable laptops, althoug...
Best performing SandForce-based solid state drive to date, 281MB/s read and 241MB/s write in ATTO, Best IOPS performance we have seen from a solid state drive, 3-year warranty, Included mounting bracket
None that I found
This only being our second SandForce-based solid state drive we really did not have much to compare the Vertex 2 to, but we do know from our testing that it does perform much better and smoother than the SandForce-based Corsair F100. So if there was a ...
After being so thoroughly impressed by the original Vertex 60GB just a few short months ago, it was hard to imagine that we'd be similarly impressed by any follow-up to that drive, but thanks to its SandForce controller and a price point which matches...
Seriously fast, Comes with cool sticker!, Comes with HDD adapter
Price
There’s no doubt the OCZ Vertex 2 is a fast drive, in fact it’s the fastest I’ve ever tested. I’m impressed but it doesn’t take much to impress me… Seriously though, the OCZ Vertex 2 is a drive that I can easily recommend if you’re looking to have the...
